Welcome to Living in a Bookworld, which basically is a blog full of what else but books. Here, you can find and read reviews about books from the young adult, fiction and not, and sometimes the adult section. Also, every month is going to be dedicated to an author or two. You will be able to see the new books that come out every week as well. Let the book journey begin!

As the
Governor’s daughter, Charlotte McClain is an expert in playing pretend. High
society, the men her mother shoves in her direction and a Pre-Law major are all
a part of her perfect pretense. But when she pretends to be a nobody during
Spring Break, she meets someone who rocks her world.

Mason Rowell
knows heartbreak and Spring Break don’t mesh well, so he allows the mysterious
Charlotte to seduce him. What should have been a fling, results in something
deeper. After Spring Break has long since passed, he moves to Washington to
pursue his graduate degree, but what he never expected to find living among the
rich and pompous, was the girl who gave him the strength to change and the
desire to start anew.

When the guy
Charlotte can’t forget goes from a sensual memory to temptation in the flesh,
her facade is put to the test. If she surrenders to his charms, she risks
ruining her mother’s perfect career and master plan. Playing pretend is what
Charlotte does best, but how long can she pretend she doesn't love the man who
made her proud of her true self?

ExcerptMason tucked his hands inside his pocket
as his eyes traveled up and down my body. I flushed, suddenly embarrassed for
being dressed like that in front of him. Ugh, I hated how I cared what he
thought.“Not your boyfriend,” Mason said, his
tone strained and his eyes tough.“He’s not,” I said. “My mother has been
setting up these outings and … you know what? It doesn’t matter.”“He sure looks like your boyfriend.”I groaned. “What do you want?” He
shrugged, averting his eyes. “You were walking toward me. If you didn’t want
anything, you wouldn’t have done that.”He stared at me. “I don’t know, okay? I
just saw you, and like before, I just had to get to you, to see you.” He gave a
step toward me, his eyes softening a little. “I want to talk to you.”“Mason.” I sighed. “You don’t want to
get mixed up with me. It’s not worth it.”“You should let me decide that.” He took
a step closer.I knew I should move away, but I
couldn’t. My gaze followed his ticking jaw, his tense neck, the neckline of his
black shirt, the way it hugged his shoulders, arms, and chest. I could see his
muscles. I remembered them. I found myself incapable of ungluing my eyes from
his body. His jeans also didn’t help. They were tight enough to see he had a
great behind and powerful legs.With the breeze, his aftershave scent
hit me and I inhaled deeply, remembering how many times I had wrapped myself
around that scent. Around him. I shivered.I looked up and found Mason less than a
foot from me.“You were just checking me out,” he
said, the corner of his lip tugging up. “That has to count for something.”“No, I wasn’t!” I said too quickly.He leaned over me and I stopped
breathing. “That’s okay. I like it. It means you want me. And I want you too.”His hand reached for me but I snapped
out of it. Looking side to side, I retreated, putting a few feet between us.I put on my business hat. “You don’t
know what you’re talking about. It may seem interesting, a challenge, but
that’s all this is. I’m not the girl you met in Califor—”“I know you are,” I said.“—nia. This is me.” I waved down myself,
feeling sick to my stomach. I so wasn’t like this and I hated lying to him, but
I had to. I couldn’t have him looking at me like that, because I wouldn’t be
able to say no for much longer. “Though I’m not dating Donnie, that’s what is
expected of me.”“That’s bullshit.”I felt the tears burning behind my eyes.
“This is my life.”Before I broke down, I turned my back to
him and rushed away.
